The Khmer Kampuchea Krom people continue to seek help from humanitarian groups and aid agencies, but so far no solutions have been found for one of the country's most oppressed groups.
The Khmer Krom are a unique group living in the Mekong Delta region of Cambodia and Vietnam and claim their rights are abused in both countries.
In Vietnam, members claim, they are oppressed for their beliefs and sometimes jailed as dissidents.
In Cambodia, they are often not issued ID cards or other documents, are not allowed to participate in elections and their children are excluded from education, said Ang Chanrith, executive director of the Khmer Khrom Human Rights Organization.
In Takeo province recently, he said, monks have been killed and disappeared. These crimes have gone unsolved, he said, speaking as a guest on "Hello VOA."
Some Khmer Krom were considering establishing a shadow government outside Vietnam and Cambodia, he said, but this would be done within legal parameters.

Don't blame the Khmer Krom people who are the victim! It is better to die than to live like an animal! If the fucken Vietcong don't want the Khmer Krom people to be free and to live like human being then the Vietcong can go ahead kill all the Khmer Krom people from the face of the Earth!
The discussion of the Khmer Krom issues will go on forever! Say no the Vietcong oppression!
The case of Khmer Kampuchea Krom People is critical and sensitive in Cambodia.
To deal with Khmer Kampuchea Krom people, we must base on national constitution and international law.
Khmer Kampuchea Krom people have struggled according Cambodian national constitution and international law.
Recent strikes on Khmer Kampuchea Krom people, monks and may be next strike relating the fake accusation of that monument explosion by Hun Sen government intensify the win-win strategy of Vietnam that they are tirelessly aiming to have total control of Cambodia.
1. Vietnam has used the excuse of Khmer Kampuchea Krom to be able to borrow Hun Sen government's hand to achieve many benefits such as: eliminating Khmer Kampuchea Krom through gradual violatings, humiliatings, arresting, jailing and killing..etc and keep their influences, intervention and spies inside CPP.
2. Vietnam has taken advantages to make excuses such as signing supplemental border treaty, border development, friendship and close corporation, cracking down Khmer Kampuchea Krom people who dare to stand up for their basic human rights respect...and other treaties on behalf of friendship, are actually aiming to have totally controlled or legally controlled over Cambodia. Vietnam has done like this like what they have done in Lao.
Cambodian people might satisfy with Hun Sen leadership in present time, but in reality Cambodian people have to understand that "it is only peace like the grave-yard or cemetery; and it is the security of the slave".
- Why peace like the grave-yard? Because Cambodia is still under the power of Vietnam. Hun Sen leadership is just the facade of Vietnam. Every decision to implement the government, Hun Sen has to listen to Vietnam. Everybody can go and do research that at least there are three prominent Vietnamese leaders are working in Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Foreign Affair and Prime Minister Cabinet. These few institutions don't include national police identities and illegal Vietnamese.
- Why security of the slave? Because, Cambodian people can have security when they don't express their opinions or protest all illegal activities of the government. This issue proves us in present political affiliated court, assembly, police and military including religious leader, Supreme Patriarch Tep Vong. They are not independent and serving Cambodian people, but they are politically oriented and serving CPP.
In case of Venerable Tim Sakhorn is intimidating not only him or Khmer Kampuchea Krom people, but with all Cambodian people's security and well-beings. Today, the authority can humiliate Venerable Tim Sokhorn, tomorrow or after tomorrow, the Cambodian people may be can experience the same destiny.
